Atascadero

Among California’s cities, Atascadero stands out for the planned-colony vision that shaped its civic centre. Established in 1913 by publisher E. G. Lewis, the community was laid out around a broad civic axis, with the Sunken Gardens still forming a public green space beside the historic City Hall. Completed in 1918, the building’s domed rotunda is a local landmark; it was badly damaged in the 2003 San Simeon earthquake and later restored. Atascadero lies in San Luis Obispo County, near the Salinas River and east of the Santa Lucia Range, amid the vineyards and oak-dotted terrain of California’s Central Coast.
